Data Science Bootcamp

Engineering, business, science, politics and many others heavily utilize data for decisions making. Several topical, rapidly evolving and powerful data analysis techniques, designed to be comprehensive, with a gentle learning curve, have become available. A knowledge of these tools and techniques provides a competitive advantage: nowadays “Data Scientist” is the number one job posted in all HR systems. The DSI Data Science Bootcamp aims at providing an overview and a basic hands-on experience of some of the most popular data science methods and tools publicly available. Instructors will guide participants in the use Python to analyze data, create meaningful visualizations, and leverage statistics by using powerful machine-learning libraries such as Tensorflow. A taste of the programming language R for statistical computing will also be provided as well as the opportunity to work with some tutorials implemented by NVIDIA for accelerated computing data research.

When: August 14-16; 2018Where: MREB 200Who: This event is primarily meant for UH's industry partners and members of the Society of HPC Professionals.

Solving PDEs in Python: A FEniCS tutorial

FEniCS is an open-source finite element package with extensive list of features.The workshop will contain tutorials on the use of FEniCS for solving PDE problems. We will cover hands-on tutorials in the following fields:

Reservoir and porous media simulations: Idealized enhanced oil recovery problem is generated step-by-step. You will be able to calculate total flux at the production well for various pressures at the injection wells. Also, solutions of different FE formulations are discussed.

Bio fluid mechanics : A mesh is generated on a surface of vascular segment extracted from a patient MRI image. Using transient FE, you will model blood flow for cardiac cycles.

When: June 26-27; 2018 (from 1 pm to 4 pm)Where: MREB 200(Computers with necessary software will be available with valid UH account)Who: Anyone interested in learning to use the FEniCS package.(Participants are expected to have familiarity with scientific computing with Python)

Deep learning using Tensorflow

The Data Science Institute at UH will be hosting a deep learning workshop. From basics of deep learning to CNNs, come learn about the most popular deep learning package, Tensorflow.

What: Deep learning using TensorflowWhen: Monday and Tuesday (4/30 and 5/1) from 9:30 am to 12:30 amWhere: MREB 200 (Computers with necessary software will be available with valid UH account)Who: Anyone interested in learning to use the Tensorflow package
